Flow cytometric assay results showed that, cell-surface BAFF was significantly highly expressed on peripheral CD3+ T lymphocytes in 〉 5 yrs group of kidney transplant recipients, compared with other groups (p 〈 0.05). BAFF expression could be found on CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. The BAFF mRNA levels in peripheral mononuclear cells were consistent with the protein levels. However, serum soluble BAFF levels were inter- individually different in each group. Stratified by renal function, it was found that cell-surface BAFF levels were significantly higher in those with abnormal renal function, compared with recipients with normal renal function (p 〈 0.05). ELISA assay results showed that expression levels of cell surface BAFF were significantly correlated with anti-HLA I & II antibodies. These results indicate that BAFF may be involved in the development of graft-loss and influences the long-time outcome of kidney allografl, likely mediated by interfering with immune response.
